Weary of drug war, Mexico debates legalization

[tinker2141]

Marijuana is as dangerous as alcohol. You want to see some dangerous shit. Look into “Spice”. That shit is what happens when you get creative to make a profit on a synthetic alternative to an already illegal natural product. There has already been a rash of incidents in the military because of this crap. An executive order had to be passed down to ban it. It gets better though. The shit causes heart failure, is not regulated and leads to brain damage. Not the brain damage proponents to MJ talk about, the kind that leaves you as a drooling idiot. If for nothing else let’s hope Ca legalizes MJ and move on.
As for Mexico I am curious as what they will do with the filthy rich cartel leaders and their private armies? If drugs are legal they are now legitimate candidates for public office.

How many people have died as a direct result of marijuana huh?

I believe the official number is zero.

Marijuana is as dangerous as alcohol.

That's just lol.

No dude, you posted possible side effects. In no instance did you prove anywhere that 98% of marijuana users develop health effects directly related to marijuana.

You're talking to jediyoda. You might as well be talking to a cabbage.

Huh? They are both inherently dangerous, mind altering substances. Why one is legal and the other is not is retarded. I think you misunderstood me.

A substance being mind altering doesn't inherently make it dangerous. Both the short, and long term effects of weed are much less damaging than alcohol, as well as the fact that you can die from drinking too much, but they have yet to find an amount of weed that will kill you, the estimate I've seen is if you could somehow smoke 28 pounds at once it might be potentially fatal. I do agree that it's retarded for alcohol to be illegal, and weed not though.

you can't smoke enough to OD on it. you can OD on alcohol.

Is that the best you can do???

let me state there are legal drugs such as alcohol and cigarettes that do you more harm than marijuana.

But they are legal......so it`s a moot point!

The motorcycle analogy is just sheer stoopidity by ns1.

with that said -- this is misleading --

Sure you can claim nobody has died.
But can you prove there are no short term or long term emdical issues by spome people who smoke weed??

No, but that's not my point. My point is that there are far more dangerous legal things on the board that MJ should not be treated as is.

Your "98% of marijuana users" statement is still the most idiotic thing in this thread, and has no basis in science whatsoever.

You made a claim that you can't back up. Can YOU PROVE that 98% of marijuana users suffer health issues? You made the statement buddy.

Your problem is your an idiot!
In reality YES...98% of the marijuana users will eventually develope health problem.

C'mon man, a study, anything. SCIENCE, anything to show that you didn't pull that number straight out of your ass.

If you think marijuana is so bad, Yoda, you should be campaigning to bring back alcohol prohibition as well. Alcohol is far worse for you. I noticed that you said %80 of marijuana smokers will develop health problems, where do you get this statistic ? Well, I've got one in return for you. 100% of us will develop health problems, be it from old age, irresponsible behavior, or just plain terrible luck. We all have to pay our dues, so if it doesn't effect you, why not just leave these smokers alone ?

Since when is it the governments job to provide jobs?

OP: they can legalize all the want, but as long as they are still illegal in the US, that's where the price will be set and the money will be made, so legalization probably would not do a whole lot for them.

Since the beginning of time.

When the poor run out of food, they overthrow the government. It doesn't really matter whose fault it is.
